Appalling hotel

We stayed at this so called hotel for 1 night after a concert in Newcastle and it was truly dreadful. No hot water in the morning, no staff on duty to rectify this, loose fitting light fitting hanging by our bed, no mirror in the bathroom, no plug for the sink basin in the bathroom and no hairdryer for my wife. Having lodged a complaint over a week ago with the OYO head office, I also now have no faith in their business either. AVOID THIS HOTEL AND ANY OTHER HOTEL THAT IS PART OF THE OYO GROUP.

Cheap but dated

Staff were friendly/helpful etc, bar prices were reasonable..interior is very dated and well worn/past its sell by date..heating was on so it was warm enough..I was there late and leaving early so it was just a bed for the night etc, worst bit for me was the hopeless shower, water was nice and hot but there was no water pressure at all and it barely trickled out..(even an electric shower would have been better and they are useless).....

The room was ancient and very tired… there was damage to the bathroom door as if someone had punched a hole in it… bathroom window wouldn’t close… hot water was non existent, beds were uncomfortable and well used, duvet cover hardly covered the mattress, room was cold…. If it wasn’t so late in the day I wouldn’t have stayed there… the lady on reception was the only saving grace, she was friendly and helpful.
